NR 509 Final Exam Questions with Answers and Rationale
2022/2023
A young man feels something in his scrotum and comes to you for
clarification. On your examination, you note what feels like a "bag of
worms" in the left scrotum, superior to the testicles. Which of the
following is most likely?
A) Hydrocele of the spermatic cord
B) Varicocele
C) Testicular carcinoma
D) A normal vas
deferens Varicocle
Varicoceles are common in normal men. They are often found in the left
scrotum or bilaterally and should normally resolve in the supine position.
This is because they represent varicosities within the scrotum. These
require further investigation if they occur only on the right side or do not
resolve in the supine position. They can contribute to infertility because
the testicles are unable to achieve a cool enough temperature for sperm
production, due to increased blood flow from the varicocele. A hydrocele
would be a painless mass on the spermatic cord and the vas deferens is
palpated as part of the spermatic cord. You should lightly pinch the
scrotum medially and move laterally until you feel the spermatic cord
pass between your fingers.
